Sean Dyche has broken his silence in an official statement released today following his sacking from Everton last week.

Ronald Koeman always gave off the impression that he was using the Blues as a stepping stone to move onto bigger and better things. Rafa Benitez should, quite simply, never have been appointed in the first place. He had far too much history with the club, and it was always going to end in the toxic way that it did.

Former Everton star Pat Nevin feels that Sean Dyche has been hugely undervalued for the work he carried out in the dugout. The Toffees sacked Dyche last week, as they were just one point above the relegation zone in the Premier League table after a run of poor results and worries about relegation surfaced.
